Downtime

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Dont get me wrong, I love this game :) but my main gamimg time here in the UK is between 9am and 1pm on weekend mornings. Yeah I know but I have another life in another universe :( Anyway my main problem is that the server maintenance always happens smack in the middle of my gaming time, I know its 3am in Caliifornia but whenever you guys bring the server down all of us here in Europe miss out on game time.

Can we please get a staggered maintenance time? Pretty Please? Either that or a reduced subscription ;)

    It sure would be nice if they used a bit of common sense and quit patching on Saturdays. Really, is this brain surgery or something?

    For something based on Star Trek it does make me laugh them being this ignorant of the different time zones on this planet.

    I live in America and I also second this, why should our European friends suffer this, maybe alternating the times so all can enjoy wouldn't be the worst idea.

    Yeah I think they should find a better time, but at least it's only one hour.

    I think the down time should be done at the time the usage logs indicate is the absolute lowest population and load, irregardless of who specifically it bothers. That way your guaranteed to make life miserable for the lowest amount of people.

    I think Saturday is still better then Sunday.

    Here in Germany are all shops closed on Sunday. During the downtime on Saturday I can make my weakly shopping. ;-)

    And there have to bee downtimes. As long as they have only one Server there will always be players affected in is Top gaming time.

    I only hope that the Downtimes bring some badly need improvements for the Game.

    I disagree. I can stay up as late as I want on Saturday, but on Sunday I've gotta go to bed at a reasonable time cause I've gotta work on Monday.

    In any case, Monday to Friday is still better than either Saturday or Sunday.

    It makes me laugh. I come home from work during the week and the server stays up, but I can't stay up late and play anyway cause I've gotta go to work the following day. Saturday rolls around, I can play and stay up late if I choose, but then they bring the server down right in the middle of the evening.

    I can appreciate that someone's gotta pay, but the least they could do is be a bit smarter about which day to do it on.

    not to mention that technical teams from Cryptic being forced to work while week-end is cruelty :D

    I think Cryptic will find a better day and time to do the maintanance.
    But it would be nice if any offical member could say some words about it, if they a aware of the fact that almost all european players have a problem with it.

    Hope they change it soon.

    I don't care when they do the update as long as there is an update.

    There's a lot of stuff that needs fixed and it doesn't look like there's a patch for today!

    *sigh* this has been discussed so many times that it's pathetic. I'm not trying to be mean here, but seriously people really do need to learn how to use the search function.

    I'll say it again the Dev's have already said that the weekend down times are only temporary. As for the selected times they will stay the same unless the amount of people that are on changes to where there are more people on over in Europe then there are in the United States. They base their down times on server load, it only makes sense to do this for the simple fact that less people are on.

    Yeah? I bet less people are on on Tuesday or Wednesday, for example, than Saturday?

    They got the time of day right, yeah I'll give you that one. But they didn't really get the day right.
